Modelithics Updates COMPLETE+3D Library for Keysight ADS
Version 26.4 enhances high-frequency simulation with new automated 3D features and expanded component model support.
Updated on Oct. 15, 2026 in Semiconductors
Modelithics has released Version 26.4 of its COMPLETE+3D Library, providing engineers with new simulation capabilities for Keysight ADS and RFPro platforms. The software update includes expanded support for high-frequency designs reaching up to 150 GHz.
Why it matters
The update streamlines the simulation process for radio frequency engineers by automating 3D model adjustments and integrating complex component packages into existing design environments.
The library adds 56 TDK inductors, 89 3D package and connector models, 26 Microchip PIN diode and varactor models, and six Guerrilla RF transistor models. New features include Automatic 3D View Selection and Smart Mount Layouts.
The players
Modelithics
The company provides measurement-based simulation models for RF and microwave design software.
Keysight Technologies

Timeline
Modelithics released Version 26.4 of the simulation library on October 15, 2026.
The Tech Race
This release reflects the ongoing industry shift toward high-fidelity 3D modeling as designs push toward 150 GHz thresholds. By augmenting Keysight ADS with more automated workflows, Modelithics positions itself to remain competitive against other integrated simulation ecosystems.
Engineers using this software can expect improved workflow efficiency through the automated updating of 3D models during design cycles. This reduces manual configuration tasks and helps users more reliably model components at extreme frequencies.
The takeaway
Reliable 3D simulation is becoming a prerequisite for modern high-frequency electronic development. Engineers should explore how automated view selection can reduce the time spent manually updating design layouts in their simulation environments.
